Is Perl the Duct Tape of the Internet? [PODCAST]

After decades of use, open source Perl remains a popular development language that holds much of the modern Internet together.

Developers can choose from a lot of different programming languages to build applications and infrastructure in 2016. For nearly three decades the open source Perl language has been one popular choice, and it's a choice that is still being made by developers today.
